Brief Summary:
Cancer is the most common potentially fatal disease of adolescence and the Internet represents an ideal means to deliver education self-monitoring capabilities and social support to enhance disease self-management by adolescents with cancer While two interactive coping websites exist for young people with cancer they are 1 not interactive 2 do not focus on helping youth gain skills for transition and independence and 3 do not provide opportunities for meaningful social support In summary there is a crucial need to develop a comprehensive interactive Internet-based self-management program targeting AWC that is comprised of cancer education self-management skills and opportunities for social support and that is cost-effective
